FORGIVE BOKO HARAM: Dogara urges Nigerians . Friday, 18 September 2015 11:55

Hon. Yakubu Dogara, Speaker House of Representatives

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Yakubu Dogara, has called on the Nigerian Christian community, particularly those in North East states to forgive members of the Boko Haram Islamist sect, adding that meaningful development could only occur in the country when Nigerians begin to forgive one another.
Dogara noted that although people’s sources of livelihood and churches were destroyed during the fiery days of the insurgents, the Christian community should, in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ, forgive and look forward to better times. The Speaker who made this appeal yesterday in Abuja at the Christian Ecumenical Centre, re-affirmed the right of every Nigerian to subscribe freely to any religion of his choice as long as it suits his or her conscience.
